The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reports that the fifth permit for participation in Tennessee's sixth managed elk hunt will open for auction on eBay at 9:30 p.m. (CDT) today and run through 9:30 p.m., July 27. The successful bidder will join four other hunters who will be selected in a random drawing later this summer.

Since the elk hunt was implemented in 2009, the TWRA has donated a permit to a non-governmental organization as a fundraiser to benefit the state's elk restoration program. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation is the recipient of the 2014 auction permit.
